Os Bichinhos e o Homem

Vinicius de Moraes Vinicius de Moraes

The Little Creatures and the Man

Our sister, the fly
Is ugly and rough
While the mosquito
Is prettier
Is prettier

Our brother, the beetle
Made of leather
Barely knows how to fly
Barely knows how to fly

Our sister, the cockroach
Such an annoying little thing
Is a cousin of the butterfly
Who is a snob
Who is a snob

Our brother, the cricket
Always making noise
Just to annoy
Just to annoy

And the jigger
How delightful it is
When it itches
It itches a lot

And our brother tick
Another annoying creature
A cousin of the bacillus
Who is a calm brother
Who is a calm brother

And the man who thinks he knows everything
Doesn't know what the little creatures will have for dinner
When his day comes
When his day comes
